1921réf. 81926St. Petersburg: Gosudarstvennoe izdatelʹstvo 1921. First Edition. First printing. Quarto 30cm. Printed tan card wrappers; 25pp text 16 inserted leaves of photographic plates halftones including portrait frontispiece. Some very mild toning to wrapper margins; text fore-corners gently pushed; still a remarkably fresh unworn copy in the original wrappers easily Near Fine and most unusual thus. The first critical study of painter architect and stage designer Vladimir Tatlin a key figure in the Russian post-revolutionary avant-garde and the first artist to explore visual ideas that would later become identified with the Constructivist movement though Tatlin would come to reject that label in reference to his own work. The book itself written by the influential art critic and theorist Nikolay Punin companion of poet Anna Akhmatova is considered a milestone of Soviet book design featuring sixteen very fine photographic plates including the iconic portrait of Tatlin now held at the Mayakovsky Museum in Moscow. Scarce in commerce and very rarely seen in such fine condition. MOMA The Soviet Avant-Garde Book 318 not pictured. Gosudarstvennoe izdatelʹstvo unknown

1927réf. 893191927. AVANT-GARDE UMEHARA Hokumei et al. BUNGEI SHIJO Vol.3 #6. Wrappers 21.7 x 15 cm. Tokyo Showa 2 1927 First published in November of 1925 this issue of June 1927 unleashed its mordant humor on the literary world of Japan. The cover is a study all on its own with the cockamamie orthography and inside jokes of the avant-garde. The contents in this case celebrate the 250 year anniversary of Yaoya Oshichi a girl of 16 burned at the stake in the 17th century whose tragic story was picked up by Saikaku at the time and became an important joruri and kabuki theme thereafter. Besides that emphasis the notes run the gamut from literary gossip to the latest on Russian and European art and literary movements and theorists. At first solidly left wing and imersed in the avant-garde the magazine lasted for 19 issues into later in 1927 when Umehara took his interests into even more scandalous avenues and began publishing GROTESQUE magazine the heart of the ero-guro movement. This copy of the BUNGEI SHIJO is very good overall. unknown

THREE: ACS 15 January 1975. ‘Dear Philip / A year ago I asked if I could do some reviews because the collapse of Better Books left me with guarantees to pay off at a time of other financial troubles tempting enough to do a Stonehouse.
